Regenerative growing is a relatively new approach to food growing which incorporates learning from sustainable agriculture, permaculture, as well as ancient and scientific growing knowledge. Alongside the growing of food, this approach seeks to regenerate the soil, water and the wider ecosystems of growing spaces. This is good for growers and nature alike! Regenerative growing is adaptable to large scale farming as well as urban food growing on allotments and in community gardens.
